Recycling, Reuse, and Disposal
Philips is concerned with helping protect the natural environment and helping ensure
continued safe and effective use of this system through proper support, maintenance, and
training. Philips designs and manufactures equipment in compliance with relevant guidelines
for environmental protection. As long as the equipment is properly operated and maintained, it
presents no risk to the environment. However, the equipment may contain materials that could
be harmful to the environment if disposed of incorrectly. Use of such materials is essential for
the implementation of certain functions and for meeting certain statutory and other
requirements.
The European Union Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires
producers of electrical and electronic equipment to provide reuse and treatment information
for each product. This information is provided in a Philips Recycling Passport. Such recycling
passports for Philips ultrasound systems are available on this website:

Recycling, reuse, and disposal information in this document is directed mainly at the entity with
legal authority over the equipment. Operators are usually uninvolved in disposal, except in the
case of certain batteries.

Passing Your System to Another User
If you pass this system to another user who will use the system for its intended purpose, then
pass it on in its complete state. Particularly, ensure that all the product-support documentation,
including all instructions for use, are passed on to the new user. Make the new user aware of
the support services that Philips provides for installing, commissioning, and maintaining the
system, and for comprehensive operator training. Existing users must remember that passing
on medical electrical equipment to new users may present serious technical, medical, privacy,
and legal risks. The original user may remain liable, even if the equipment is given away.
After you pass the system to a new user, you might still receive important safety-related
information, such as bulletins and field change orders. In many jurisdictions the original owner
has a clear duty to communicate such safety-related information to new users. If you are
unable or unprepared to do this, inform your authorized service representative about the new
user, so that safety-related information can be provided to the new user.
Final Disposal of Your System
4535 620 68591_A/795 * FEB 2020
B. Braun and Philips strongly advise you to seek advice from your authorized service
representative before agreeing to pass on any equipment.
Final disposal is when you dispose of the system in such a way that it can no longer be used for
its intended purposes.
Do not dispose of this system (or any parts of it) with industrial or domestic waste. The
system may contain materials such as lead, tungsten, or oil, or other hazardous substances
that can cause serious environmental pollution. The system also contains privacy-sensitive
information, which should be properly removed (scrubbed). Philips advises you to contact
your authorized service organization before disposing of this system.
